Great atmosphere, service was friendly & quick and the beers were a great price. big shout out to the irish gentleman with glasses that works there, top notch banter! Will be coming back for sure.
**This review is for the bar only **
A wonderful surprise. My wife and I were looking for somewhere to start our dinner dates, and this proved to be a perfect stop. The decor is a nice change from your neighborhood rowdy pub, and had nice seating and music. I was immediately concerned that a place with such nice decor was going to leave me broke and thirsty. But No! They serve beer in pints not just schooners. And what is more.
**One pint of wild yak and one gin and tonic came to a little over 17$! That's a BARGAIN . **
I also highly recommend the '' crispy fries with parmesan '' And icing on the cake is the service. Friendly, fast, and attentive.
If you enjoy wine they have a lovely exhaustive selection including some on tap
Great chill atmosphere and service. The food was amazing too. It has become our new local. Great place to kick back with a few bevs or go for dinner. Highly recommend.
Great meal and great choice of beer! I went this place at christmas lunch. Music was a bit loud but still ok. Forgot to take a pic of octopus dish, that was really nice too.
Great atmosphere and food! Ordered the smoke wagyu burger with a side of sweet potato fries and was impressed with the portion size. Well priced meals with friendly staff. Highly recommended!
They've done a great job refurbishing this place. Trendy decor and love the brass bar, this creates a beautiful atmosphere to dine or have a few bevs. Lovely wait staff. Our waiter came out to check how the meal was and if I wanted more dressing for my salad. Very attentive. The salad I got for lunch was perfect. I got a big serving and with plenty of the zesty/creamy chipotle dressing. The chicken was cooked very well and I loved the addition of crispy tortillas. My dining companion got the chicken & super greens sandwich and was quite satisfied too. I want to come back to try the burger and espresso martini!
When our roast lunch came out from the kitchen, I swear my jaw dropped and I thought to myself ‘holy-moly, this is a carnivore’s paradise’. We were at The Montague Hotel, a popular hangout that takes up the sizeable corner of Montague Road and Kurilpa Street at West End. Opened only a few months ago, the Monty is this incredibly decked out gastropub that dishes up all-time favourites like juicy steaks, schnitzels, beer battered flathead served with skin on fries, house salad and smoked jalapeño aioli, and gourmet burgers. But at the same time, you can also order healthy salads or get low and slow on their popular smokey charcoal rotisserie that changes daily.
As far as pub food goes, these guys do a good job.
I had the super food rainbow wrap and of course i added the Haloumi. This was nice and fresh and something i don't see in many other places serving pub food. usually the only options are greasy pub meals.
300g Porterhouse Cooked Medium rare for my partner - came out the way he wanted it so he was happy
Will be back again to try more of the menu, as it is in a good location. I want to try the S&P Calamari next, and maybe one of the pizza's. The couple beside us shared a pizza and it looked really good.

Great place!!!! Espresso martinis are a super friendly price which is always a plus in my book! Shared the charcuterie and prosciutto pizza with friends. Very delicious 😋
I've visited the Monty on about 6-7 occasions now. Predominantly on Saturday evenings and usually with 3-4 people in our group. On every occasion the establishment had exceeded our expectations. Friendly staff who know their product well and delivery with a smile (the simple things go a long way hey?). No over-service either. We were left to sit and watch the football without being bothered. I particularly like the casual atmosphere in the bar area. Haven't strayed further then their burgers and pizzas thus far. Cheeseburger is amazing.
I'd like to try more of their craft beers and I'll be back in for more brewery fresh beer on tap.
I've been to the Montague a few times now, it never disappoints. Great pub for after work drinks! Love the food as well, they have a really great selection. The pizza is a must-try!
Great pub fare in a great location. Atmosphere was buzzing, drinks selection was extensive. Service was fast and attentive. Can't wait to comeback to try out the pizza!
Went to this fantastic venue while on a weekend getaway in Brisbane. The atmosphere was amazing with live music & a chilled relaxed vibe. The food was amazing we enjoyed a pizza with a couple of glasses of sav blanc - off tap it was surprisingly good. Will definitely return when visiting Brisbane again, thankyou for the great hospitality.
Ridiculously Tender ... that's how I described the Wagyu Rump to my partner.
Along with the tasty Roasted Root Vegetables and Pepper Sauce on the side, chilled Sav Blanc, a gifted musician singing and playing in the background ... it was a perfect way to relax after a hectic day.
I'll definitely be back.
Highly recommend the 'low and slow smokey charcoal' Wagyu. Just melts in your mouth. Enjoy!
Date night last night at Montague Hotel was perfect... service with a smile from the lovely Phoebe... SauvBlanc on tap surprisingly excellent (never tried wine on tap before - but it was everything a good Sauv Blanc should be with lovely bouquet), Goats cheese pizza with beetroot and caramelised onion was delicious! Attention to small details was appreciated - generous large serviettes, nice wine glasses, prompt service - even though it was busy... Loved the soloist who was performing great accoustic background music. A great night!
Beautiful atmosphere and decor. My new go to in West End!!! Food is good and drinks are exceptional value. Can't wait to come here again for a relaxed Sunday meal and drinks!
1kg TBone!! What a man feast this is!! This is a cracking steak!!
In all seriousness though besides a great steak this place is class. It's kept really clean and well presented, I found the staff to be smiley and friendly and all of them seemed to have great chat which was great.
Food and service was very attentive, more than I expected actually, not in a bad way either, it's still a pub not a five star restaurant but the staff where right on the job and delivered a really good experience. Music and ambience was good, loved TAB wall for a cheeky punt and they do $10 Espresso Martinis all day which I must say I'm man enough to enjoy on one of their alfresco decks with the breeze in my hair.... hahaa
Thoroughly recommend. This place is brand new and def worth the look. 10/10.
Been here several times now and have had a good night each time , food is great , the copper brewery fresh beer is fantastic and the venues fit out has been well thought out.
Hats off to the staff who manage large amounts of patrons with attention and pace.
Will be back for sure.
Fantastic time again at the Montague! Went in for a Sunday long lunch on the weekend and had a delectable lamb and beef combo and ice cold espresso martinis all afternoon. Friendly and professional waiters and bartenders. Coming in Tuesday for salsa night and dinner, can't wait!! 💃🏼💃🏼
Fantastic atmosphere because of the live music and friendly staff. The food arrived very quickly and was cooked to perfection. Very pleasant experience, will be returning regularly!
After reading reviews, was surprised at how great the venue was! would highly recommend going along and trying the Rotisserie dinner. Saw they are advertising $5 espresso martins on a friday and saturday night, will have to return and check that out! overall a great evening and would return again soon.
Came in on a Sunday for a beer, ended up staying for most of the day. Bar staff were sensational their personalities were welcoming and fun. Enjoyed the Sunday rotisserie and portion size was fantastic. Definitely my new Sunday hang.
Great Place, good food with a wide range of dishes. Im from country NSW and was only up visiting my son who is new to west end, this pub looked amazing and had a wide range of great beers.
Thanks for your hospitality
I live just around the corner from the place and when it opened I was eager to see how they would do. The menu covers a range of classic pub foods including a new charcoal rotisserie. Second time round I had a pizza which was equally impressive! The meal and general ambiance of the restaurant were both excellent. The live music was great, and the bar/restaurant staff were hospitable. I definitely recommend The Montague Hotel for a casual beer or a delicious mea with good quality service. Cheers
I've eaten at The Montague on a number of occasions and have always been treated to fantastic service and great food. The entertainment is obviously chosen carefully. As far as atmosphere and food goes there into any better in Brisbane.
I live locally and this has become my new favourite local watering-hole. Service and food are great. And Friday afternoon wine time for $5 is fantastic! Love the live music
Went to the Montague with a group of friends for dinner, was such a great night! So many food options with their new menu including really good vegetarian options too with a mushroom pizza which was AMAZING. Also had a few bites of the beef brisket burger and fell in love. To make the night even better they had $5 espresso martinis from 10pm-12! Definitely a big crowd pleaser. Will definitely be going back because there were so many menu items I know I need to try. I saw some promo material talking about Tuesday night salsa dancing, which sounds so fun! Next night out I'll definitely be suggesting salsa night at the Montague Hotel.. followed by espresso martinis and probably a few frozen margaritas! All in all, a great place to meet a group of friends and have awesome food and a few drinks.
I had a function here for my birthday over the weekend & wow what a night. I highly recommend this venue!
Very impressed with the professionalism of the staff at The Montague. The functions manager was quick with her responses & very detailed in answering my questions... I had a few difficult requests but the venue catered for my requirements without batting a eyelid. The portion sizes for the food was generous & the food itself was delicious. The vibe of the hotel was fresh & funky & drink prices reasonable. We took advantage of the $5 espresso martinis.
Im now in charge of booking my work christmas party & will be doing so at The Montague.
Some mates and I ventured over to the new pub under a week ago, awesome fit out, friendly atmosphere and lots of food to choose from. Plus $5 espressos!!!!
Good price food. Just we ordered medium steak got a medium rare instead. It was busy. So understand. Vegs are delicious!
This is my local. It is such a nice place to unwind. The food is excellent and there is a special most days (kids eat free on Sunday for the parents out there).
The staff are attentive without being annoying.
When the weather is nice, the outside seating is a beautiful, relaxing space with nice greenery.
I can't recommend this place enough. Myself, my husband and kids visit the Montague on a regular basis for mostly a mid week and weekend lunch or dinner. The meals are on point every-time and the live music is very enjoyable. I am looking forward to a Father's Day Brekkie this weekend with a river walk afterwards. Can't wait!
Dropped in for a late lunch early in the week with the Mrs. Food was really good, the Nacho's with chilli beef & Chicken Schnitzel went down very well with a couple of CC and Dry. Service was quick and polite. What else do you want, give them a go!!!! Cheers!
The perfect place to chill and relax with good friends. The staff are always friendly, which is a nice touch! Their live music sessions are a bonus, I've heard a number of talented musicians, which makes it extra hard to leave.
